Definitions

  • the present invention relates to generating new feedback data in a fiber optic catheter by modeling multiple feedback signals along the length of one or more optical fibers.
  • Catheters are used for a variety of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures throughout the body allowing for minimally invasive operations. It is optimal to have finer control of the catheter to minimize the procedural duration, surgical mistakes, and the skill and training requirements of the catheter operator. Remote catheters using magnetic resonance or robotic control have been introduced to allow for faster operation times. Remote systems also allow the operator to work from a separate workstation rather than by the patient’s bedside where x-ray fluoroscopy is often used to provide visual feedback images. At a distant location, operators are no longer required to wear protective heavy lead suits that often lead to chronic back injuries.
  • Robotic catheter procedures rely on internal and external feedback to provide optimal control and to reveal a clearer picture of the operating environment to the physician.
  • quality feedback is still difficult to obtain due to the size and safety requirements of intrinsic sensors and the expense, speed and efficiency of external sensors such as image analysis systems.
  • Optical fibers have been implemented in catheters, relaying in-vivo feedback signals of from the proximal end of the catheter, such as the contact tip force, oxygen saturation of the blood, fluid concentration, temperature, pressure, etc.
  • Optical fibers are optimal in that they require no electrical activity within the catheter, produce fast response signals, and can be relatively small in size.
  • Additional existing technologies in optical fibers includes the ability to receive multiple feedback signals from a single-mode fiber. For instance, using wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) , different wavelengths of light are multiplexed into a single optical fiber.
  • Fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors and out-coupling taps are written within the core of the fiber to generate temperature, strain, pressure, chemical or interferometric feedback from the various wavelengths. [Morey WW, Dunphy JR, Meltz G. Multiplexing fiber bragg grating sensors. 1991; 10 (4) : 351-360. ]
  • these optical fibers can be placed into the length of the catheter wall.
  • a mathematical model can be implemented to the feedback data to indirectly derive new and different data points that regular sensors cannot or have difficulty obtaining in catheter procedures.
  • the invention uses one or more optical fibers within a catheter. Preferably three to four optical fibers.
  • the optical fibers are preferably symmetrically embedded within the catheter wall.
  • Each fiber consists of multiple sensors such as stress, strain, displacement, , contact force, pressure, temperature, vibration, chemical, etc.
  • Each optical fiber may consist of only one type of sensor or a combination of these sensors. These sensors may be intrinsic or extrinsic or a combination of both.
  • the optical fiber may be a single-mode fiber or multi-mode fiber. More preferably a single-mode fiber. Multiple sensors within one optical fiber is achieved through any form of optical splitting and combining techniques such as wavelength division multiplexing, time division multiplexing or frequency division multiplexing. More preferably wavelength division multiplexing.
  • An interrogation unit is located at the proximal end of the catheter where it emits and receives the wavelength signals.
  • the signals from the optical fibers are then relayed to an operating system or microprocessor where new data is derived by implementing mathematical or statistical models such as artificial neural networks, a machine learning algorithm.
  • the newly derived data may consist of the catheter’s relative tip coordinates, the coordinate position of the entire catheter body, the tip angle or orientation, the orientation of the catheter body, the vibration of the catheter body, the momentum, speed or acceleration of the catheter’s movement, and so on.
  • the optical fiber sensor system may also be implemented in a control system to robotically control or automate the catheter.
  • the control system may use the newly derived data or it may directly use the multiple feedback signals from the fibers.
  • Common control methods may be used, such as proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control or state space models. Less common methods may also be used, such as in machine learning techniques like deep learning.
  • PID proportional-integral-derivative
  • machine learning techniques like deep learning.
  • a mass amount of data is collected, depicting the catheter in thousands of scenarios and shapes.
  • the collected data of fiber optic feedback signals and other features are processed through the machine learning algorithm to calculate a target output, which could be the distance, speed or acceleration that the robotic actuators need to actuate.

  • FIG. 6 is a schematic of an example experimental set-up with actuators in order to collect data for a machine learning algorithm
  • One embodiment uses machine learning algorithms to derive the positional catheter tip coordinates from multiple strain sensor signals spread evenly across three symmetrically placed single-moded optical fibers 2 within the catheter 1 as in FIG. 1.
  • One of the three optical fibers also includes a temperature sensor in the event that the values of the strain sensors are temperature dependent.
  • the optical fibers run from the proximal end of the catheter to the distal end and are positioned near the outer surface of the catheter or embedded within the catheter wall, radially forming triangular points and allowing a three-dimensional platform as in FIG. 2.
  • Multiple strain sensors 3 are implemented evenly along the length of the fiber from the proximal end to the distal end. Fiber Bragg gratings 3 are used to form the strain sensors.
  • the optic signals are processed through a multiplexer and demultiplexer 5 at the proximal end 4 of the device using wavelength division multiplexing to achieve multiple signals within a single-mode fiber.
  • the feedback data is sent to a processor or operating system where it is fed to an established algorithm or mathematical model that translates the strain data to the relative coordinate position of the entire catheter body.
  • the positional coordinates of the catheter body can then be translated to a graphical display screen to give visual feedback for the physician or to a control system to robotically or remotely control the catheter through proximal actuators.
  • the multiple strain values can be directly sent to the control system where it uses these values in its control models.
  • An overall schematic of the system is displayed in FIG. 5.

  • Another embodiment incorporates contact force sensors at the catheter tip to account for obstructions.
  • the new shape or position of the catheter is still derived using the same data modeling methods when the tip experiences contact.
  • Another embodiment measures the vibration of the catheter caused by robotic actuation or pressure from the dynamic environment.
  • Yet another embodiment has the sensors located in different patterns throughout the optical fibers or in a specified pattern as in FIG. 4.
  • the sensors in FIG. 4 are arranged closer together near the distal end where more curves or deflection of the catheter may occur.
